Re: OT/Red stuff

What are you doing as far as diet Kitty? This is the first time I've been on a "diet" in a LONG time. Just couldn't do it. Now I know why of course, my blood sugar was all whacky. The doc says this has been going on at least 5 years and looking back he's correct.

Congrats on your efforts Andrea. I know how hard it can be. I've been on my diet for a tad over 6 months. Once you get used to it, it's not that hard if you have the determination.
And BTW, I'm sure REAL jello with sugar tastes much better than the sugar free, not that you'd want it though.

Hmmm I might have to try that with diet ginger ale as I like the lime OK.

Theresa, I can't have anything with sugar at the moment, but yes, I'll eventually be able to eat fruit. I decided to "deal with it" and do the two week induction phase of the South Beach diet where you have nothing but greens and protein for two weeks to help rid yourself of the mass cravings for processed sugar. It's actually not so bad. Lot's of lean meat, cheese (which I have to be careful with as I have milk allergies on top of diabetes) any leafy green thing I want as well as mushrooms, onions, nuts, etc. I'm actually managing to not go hungry, I feel better, and I'm starting to lose weight. YAY!

My favorite jello dessert is lime jello with ginger ale used instead of the water -- keeps just a little fizziness -- and with pear halves for the fruit.

Jello salads were a staple of any family or social gathering in my youth. Red orange or black cherry with fruit or berries, lime or lemon with shredded carrots, celery & pineapple. The really fancy ones included nuts or cottage cheese. Whiipd cream & cream cheese showed up a little later. Some I like, some I avoid. Not fond of sugar free gelatin at all.

If it's so evil, why are you eating it?
We often had jello as kids, rather liked it, but it was nearly always plain, no stuff in it - wait no, strawberry jello with bananas in it, yummy. My aunt made the three tiered jello dessert of jello, then whipped cream and pineapple, topped by another layer of jello - which was tricky to try to keep the top layer from sliding into the cream cheese before it set. I was never particularly fond of it, I liked plain jello.
Haven't had it for many years but just the past few months I've been eating the sugar-free black cherry. I dislike the aspartame taste, but the black cherry part tastes good, so I just sort of ignore the fake sugar part of it.

OK, so many of us don't eat read meat, or at least not much. How about red
jello? I just tried my first sugar free, cherry jello. Can I get an EEW?

I had lime last night, which wasn't bad, but definitely not a fan of the
cherry. Keep in mind, I haven't eaten jello since I was child. For me,
thoughts of jello usually bring up one of the most heinous dished my family
used to make for holidays. "Congealed Salad" Now why on earth would you EVER
refer to a food as congealed anything? Conjures up all sorts of visions of
nasty stuff that congeals like blood and fat. My mother used to take red
jello, mix it with cool whip (I think) fill it with fruit and nuts, dump it
all into a bundt pan, then dump it out on a plate when it was cold and call it
congealed salad. Yuck! Speak of the devil. She just called. My bad, it wasn't
cool whip. One recipe had cream cheese and orange jello and pineapple. The
other had cream cheese, bananas, nuts, and orange jello. So, there ya go.
That's my story for the night. Has absolutely nothing to do with plants. I
just felt the need to rant about the evils of jello.
